Dietary guidelines for oxalates

Lower your oxalate consumption

Eating a lot of high-oxalate foods can cause high levels of urinary oxalate, which can increase your risk of stone formation. High urinary oxalate can also be caused by certain digestive disorders or by chronic low intake of calcium. If your doctor has told you to restrict your consumption of oxalate-rich foods, the table below can help you identify those with the highest oxalate values. Oxalates are common in many plant foods.
